“My fur babies had such a great experience! She was incredibly attentive and made sure I stayed updated the whole time with pictures and check-ins. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”

“Karen was great with my new puppy. She was kind, considerate, responsive and caring and followed all instructions well. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Jenna is our go-to drop in sitter. She communicates effectively, sends great photos, and always cares for our cats as if we are home. Most recently, we had some issues with a medication delivery and Jenna went and picked up the medication for us and paid for it out of her own pocket. She is excellent as a sitter and I could not recommend her more.”

“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

“As always, made sure Duchess was taken care of and walked on time. Duchess had no accidents while I was gone and I did not have to worry about her while I was enjoying family time.”

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”

About: Hey there everybody! The summer is upon us and I am ready to spend time with your fur babies! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individual, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! Your pets are always welcome in my home and will be spoiled!!!! I live in a gated community that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk
“Kara was incredible and we’ll definitely be booking her again! She was on time to each check in, sent lots of pictures, and sent very detailed updates. My pup was excited to have a visitor during my time out of town and I’m so glad I chose Kara to drop in with Oliver.”

About: I have about three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and very mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and safety. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I also have a son so I know how important it is to be able to trust someone to care of your loved one(s). I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I plan my days carefully around my work schedule and my son’s daycare so pets receive proper attention, walks, playtime, and calm companionship without being rushed. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in clean and calm environments, and make sure they’re always supervised appropriately. I respect each pet’s routine and temperament and communicate clearly with owners to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.
“I am so grateful for her services. She has been a blessing to me and my animals. She is honest and thorough and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is taken care of. She has a genuine love for animals.”

“Huge thanks to Jeweliana and Riley for being so patient with us as first-time Rover users. We have a 12-week-old puppy and they took the time to meet her and answer all our questions during the first visit, which really put us at ease. Even though we ended up getting home before her scheduled time, we were more than happy to pay for the booking. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

Em was absolutely great with Juniper! Juniper is very slow to warm up and Em had her comfortable by the end of her first visit. She sent updates and pictures. Communication was great and Juniper was one happy puppy. Highly recommend Em! We would love to work with her again!

It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute.
